Hmm.. me thinks especially that Paris version sounds a bit tired and forced. Like teh guys were about fall asleep or something. I think the song with that kind of rather slow tempo is a bit hard to keep exciting. It sounds still good, but not excellent as the original.
A better solo guitarist could also help...

Tired and forced? rushed maybe but tired and forced? not sure I hear that as the tempo is faster then the studio version.
Also thought Ronnie did a decent job on the solo but hey to each his own. <shrugs>

I´m enjoying Doxa going back over old Track Talks and adding his comments where he hadn´t before. Great reading, keep at it, DOxa!

Thanks, I will! There actually are still surprisingly many tracks I haven't commented yet.
But if not anything else, I at least seemed to awake the Woodist section here...

In my top 10 list of the Stones 70's songs.
The 1976 and 1977 El Macombo versions were awesome, Mick still had that roaring sound in his voice which fits this song so well.
The 2003 Four Flicks Olympia version is a horrendous trainwreck I think, but there was some decent 2003 versions too, like the Cirkus (Stockholm) version.

I really dig the 1976 version from the Paris broadcast and always regretted that it was not included on Love You Live. It's the best live version by far, and Ronnie's solo on this one is simply perfect.
The Licks tour live versions I personally experienced and heard from boots all sound stiff, insecure and a bit clumsy - as if the band was not really into it... there's simply not anything there that lets my neck hairs stand up, no fire, no enthusiasm, no energy, just lame and often f***ed up copies of the studio version.

It should be noted that the second solo, during the funky jam part, is played by Keith,
not Ronnie (at least in the 70s).
Man, this song gets me dancing on this raining friday morning. Weekend's coming!

Agreed!
The Stockholm Circus version from 2003 might be the closest attempt of a good latter-day version, though.
Here's the El Mocambo version:
